Location
Here’s the amazing kirkjufell in icekand. Possibly the best place I have ever been !Time
This image was taken as the sun was going down. It was our last stop on our tour and one I had been looking forward to all dayLighting
The wind direction made it a no brainer to catch a long exposure to get the light in the sky along with the lines of the clouds.Equipment
The equipment I used for This image are as follows Canon6dmkii 16-35mm at 16mm Manfrotto tripod Shutter release cable 10stop filterInspiration
I was inspired by this location after seeing it in game of thrones. The more I saw it on game of thrones the more I recognised it on social media so it was a must visit during my stay in IcelandEditing
Minor edits done in photoshopIn my camera bag
In my camera bag I always keep spare batteries. 16-35mm lens, 70-200, shutter release cable and filters. It’s always handy to keep a cloth to wide the filters after each shot to remove the sprayFeedback
Plan what you want to get from the image before arriving on location. On my tour I only had 20 mins at location and I found when I arrived I totally forgot what I wanted to do and it all seemed like a blur. Be well prepared take your time and enjoy what arguably could be Iceland nicest view
